[wix-users] Burn reboot logic

[Joel Budreau]

I guess my question is, where does Burn track that? (I'll likely end up
looking through the source myself)

I'd like to be able to test installs and uninstalls without needing to
reboot in the middle (I'm not trying to test the app itself). I'm hoping
that there's a registry value or something that I can delete to make Burn
forget that packages had previously requested a reboot.
